Event tickets, sold and scanned
Sell tickets your way.
Check people in without the chaos.
Residents buy online or at a table, sellers take cash, check, or card from a phone, and every ticket arrives with a scannable QR code—or a printed paper ticket for anyone without a smartphone.
- Online + in-person sales
- QR check-in at the door
- Cash, check, or card

Checked inThe friction it removes
Selling event tickets should not mean a cashbox and a paper list.
One system prices tiers, takes payment however a buyer prefers, and gives the door a single reliable way to check people in.
Sold-out surprises
Without a live count, it is easy to sell more seats than a venue actually holds.
Cash that is hard to reconcile
A seller’s cashbox total and what actually sold rarely match without real bookkeeping.
A door list nobody trusts
A handwritten or printed list cannot catch a ticket that already got someone in once.
Members without a smartphone left out
A QR-only ticket has no answer for someone who cannot show an email on their phone.
A simpler operating method
The G.A.T.E. method
A repeatable way to price, sell, track, and check in every ticket the same way.
Get the event ready
Create the event and set ticket tiers—name, price, and quantity—including a $0 tier to cap free attendance.
Accept any payment
Take cash, checks, or cards online and at the table—even before a club connects its own Stripe account.
Track every sale
Every ticket, digital or paper, updates the same live inventory count, so a tier can’t be oversold.
Ensure one entry per ticket
Door staff scan each ticket’s QR code; a repeat scan is shown clearly instead of silently let through.
Made for the whole community
Choose a perspective. See what gets easier.
01 / Residents
Buy in a minute, arrive with nothing to print.
Buy online with a card, or pay cash or check at a club table—either way a ticket with a scannable QR code arrives by email.
- Buy online or in person
- Ticket delivered by email automatically
- A paper ticket if you don’t have a smartphone
02 / Sellers & volunteers
Sell from a phone—no separate hardware required.
Look up a resident or add a guest, pick a tier, and take cash, check, or a card tap right on the phone.
- Resident lookup by name or email
- Cash, check, or card tender
- A running sales total for the shift
03 / Officers & treasurers
Know what sold and what’s still owed.
Set prices and quantities once, then let closeout reconcile what a seller collected against what the system says they should have.
- Live remaining quantity per tier
- Cash/check closeout with variance flagged
- CSV reports by tier, seller, and channel
The guided tour
From setting a price to scanning someone in, in four steps.
The same event and inventory stay in sync whether a ticket sells online, at a table, or on paper.
Step 1
Create ticket tiers for the event.
Set a name, price, and quantity for each tier—a $0 tier caps free attendance with nothing to collect.
Step 2
Sell online or at the door.
Residents buy through a Stripe-hosted checkout page; sellers ring up cash, check, or card sales from the POS app.
Step 3
The ticket arrives automatically.
A styled email with an embedded, scannable QR code goes out—or the seller hands over a printed paper ticket on the spot.
Step 4
Scan once at the door.
The same app scans each ticket’s QR code; an already-used ticket shows clearly instead of causing an argument at the door.
The practical difference
Replace a cashbox and a paper list with one reconciled system.
Before
- Write names on a clipboard
- Make change from a cashbox
- Guess how many are left
- Argue about a used ticket
With SVE Tickets & POS
Sell the ticket once.
- Inventory updates immediately
- Every tender is recorded
- A QR code is the door check
- Cash and card both reconcile
Built for real community work
Flexible enough for a fundraiser. Accountable enough for a treasurer.
Online and in-person, together
The same event and inventory sell online through Stripe checkout and in person through the POS app.
Cash, check, card, or free
Card works by phone tap or a Bluetooth reader; $0 tiers need no payment at all; clubs without Stripe can still sell.
QR email or printed paper
Every ticket gets a scannable QR code by email, or a physical paper ticket for buyers without a smartphone.
One scan, no double-entry
A repeat or voided scan is shown clearly rather than silently accepted or rejected without explanation.
Cash closeout with variance
A seller declares what they’re holding; the system compares it to what was actually sold and flags any mismatch.
CSV reports by tier, seller, channel
Officers download sales summaries, seller totals, cash reconciliation, and attendee/check-in lists per event.
Questions clubs usually ask
Clear answers before you commit.
Each feature below is based on the working plugin—not a future roadmap promise.
Can a club sell tickets without connecting Stripe?
Yes. Cash, check, and paper ticket sales—plus $0 free tickets—never require a connected Stripe account; only card payments do.
What if someone doesn’t have a smartphone?
A seller can hand over a pre-printed paper ticket on the spot instead of emailing a QR code—nothing to show at the door.
How does a $0 ticket work?
It’s a normal ticket tier priced at zero, used to cap attendance at a free event—inventory and check-in work exactly the same way, with nothing to pay.
What happens if a ticket gets scanned twice?
The second scan shows clearly as already used, with the original check-in time—not treated as an error that needs an override.
